Conflicted Evangelicals Could Cost Bush Votes

Conservative Christians are still in his camp, but some are troubled
by Iraq and other issues.

By Peter Wallsten, Times Staff Writer


BROOKFIELD, Wis. --

With their ardent, Bible-based opposition to abortion and gay
marriage, evangelical Christians are a key target of the massive
Republican get-out-the-vote drive heading into next week's election.

Party leaders consider conservative Christians to be as near a lock
for President Bush as any group can be.

But GOP strategists might want to have a chat with Tim Moore, an
evangelical who teaches civics at a traditional Christian school near
Milwaukee.

He shares Bush's religious convictions, but says the president has
lost his vote because of tax cuts for the wealthy and the
administration's shifting rationales for invading Iraq.

"There's no way I'm going for Bush. That much I know," said Moore, 46.

He remains undecided between Democratic Sen. John F. Kerry of
Massachusetts and a third-party candidate.

Moore reflects a potential problem for Bush in Wisconsin and other
closely contested states, where the GOP and conservative groups have
invested heavily in turning out a record conservative Christian vote
through mailings, voter guides, targeted phone calls and announcements
by prominent evangelists such as Jerry Falwell and James Dobson aired
on religious radio stations.

Some of these targeted voters remain conflicted -- torn between their
religious convictions on so-called values issues, and concerns typical
of suburban moms and dads, such as jobs, healthcare, the Iraq war and
the environment.

Some, such as Wendy Skroch, a 51-year-old mother of three who prays
regularly at the evangelical Elmbrook Church in this heavily
Republican Milwaukee suburb, blame Bush for failing to fix a "broken"
healthcare system and for "selling off the environment to the highest
bidder."

Others are like Joe Urcavich, pastor of the nondenominational
evangelical Green Bay Community Church, where more than 2,000 people
worship each Sunday.

He is undecided, troubled by the bloodshed in the Middle East.

"It's hard for me to say that Christians should be marching against
abortion and carrying signs, and then turn around and giving a pep
rally for the war in Iraq without even contemplating that hundreds and
hundreds of people are being killed on a regular basis over there,"
Urcavich said.

"I'm very antiabortion, but the reality is the right to life
encompasses a much broader field than just abortion," he added.

"If I'm a proponent of life, I have to think about the consequences of
not providing prescription drugs to seniors or sending young men off
to war."

That kind of talk, coming from a conservative Christian who might
ordinarily be inclined to vote Republican, could portend trouble for
Bush.
